=====
Where should I be positioning my floor jack to life the front and rear-end sequentially? If ever I will be using my pair of jackstands, should I place them on the pinch weld support on each side? The OP below seem to suggest there is no need to use the jack stands if I will not be working underneath the car. I'm just doing seasonal tire changes.

Hopefully the above picture is what these helpful folks said in thread below: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/182-7 ... ed-up.html

Yes. this is the easiest and safest point to jack the rear of the car.

For those of you not familiar, it's right in center of the car between the rear wheels under the structural (semi) boxed frame that the rear control arms bolt to. A small floor jack should be able to easily jack the car up from there to where jack stands under the rocker panel as shown in the manual can be placed.

I wouldn't trust the tow hook to support the car. Might bend the unibody. It's pretty thin in that area.

usually any suspension point would work too, like rear trailing arm mount, or front lower arm mount.
if you are just changing tires the four corners will do for one tire changing.
if you got a 3 ton hydraulic jack then the front center and rear center jack up point will allow you to do two tire change in one shot.
just make sure you have jack stands under both left and right side.

Great. Thank you Packardbell. I thought I could get away with not using the jack stands but I'll use them for safety reason.

Yes, I have a 3-ton floor jack waiting to be used.

Do you think that rear lift point is appropriate? I'm not going to use wood, but just put some rags between the jack and the lift point.
